Personal accountability and accepting your choices the the consequences thereof is a poor point?

I love how not a single person that's try to defend the whine has not addressed this point.

All these pages, all the posts, not a single "Yes I choose that".

"GGG encourages it" "The meta forces it" "GGG sets efficiency in stone" (that one is so laughable as to be unreal, how many times is GGG surprised by what the playerbase does).

Stop focusing on others and focus on yourself.

My last try:

Ofc I choose my playstyle. I just feel that the game wants me to play recklessly and does many things to promote that.

@grepman: Great post! I'd sign most of it.

If a game requires more luck than "goodness" (sorry for english), is SHIT

And this game requires A LOT of luck, if "you" are wandering even with caution in (example) phantasmagoria map, and all of a sudden, light speed, from off screen, comes a barrage of "lasers" so powerful that melt a player in an instant. There are A LOT of threads about Thraxia, and a lot for all the other examples i have "stored" in my mind to prove that this game is shit. But all un-good players, right? ;)

So a boss you know is there hits with an attack you know is coming and mechanics you know about and understand is your example of unavoidable? And you die to this and there was nothing you could about it? Oh, I see. Definitely because the game is shit and not because you were not smart enough to not approach a boss you know kicks the ass of the build you are playing.

Approach a boss that you DON'T KNOW where exactly is, because she sees you FROM OFF SCREEN, and in a map wich "layer" changes every time? C moooooon ;) EDIT, forgot: "kicks ass to my build"? XD Those projectiles are lightning damage, but i go around with 84% lightning res all the time. So, as you can see, in this shit of a game even going into fight with decent pre-built defenses doesn't work (expecially in lightning case, that if hits you with its upper scale damage, you are f.cked) /EDIT

And let's hear the defense of yourself against this "episode" happened to me. Dried lake, all screen already destroyed, lvl 84 witch with 4.2 hp + LEGACY LIGHTNING COIL + 84% lighning res between purity and Agnerod staff (=even more physical reduction) + lvl 19 chaos golem (=the same exile i am talking about "above"!!!). Hear a tormented spirit for half a second. In the next second, a super speeded up rare "bird" comes .... guess what? FROM OFF SCREEN!!!! One shotting me. Not the time even to exercise a pressure on the flask button (obviously "seething"), with the finger ALWAYS already "in touch" with the "1" key eh? But even a seething flask doesn't work when you have been one shotted... when you are already worm's feed. Ok, let's hear the defense now.... (this is only one of at least 15 episodes i can tell)

Even in acknowledging personal agency, you're still blaming the game.

I don't understand how that is even possible. I have NEVER had a high level (84) character one shot in dried lake(a 67 area) by anything other than a boss (Voll or Nightbane before he was nerfed). What resolution are you using? Because in Phantasmagoria, I can always tell when I'm approaching the boss room. Sure she can shoot before I actually see her, but the boss room has a recognizable look so I know when I get there. And even still, I don't get one shot. I get hit hard but I react fast enough that I can run away. Maybe your computer isn't fast enough to give you reaction time. Are you using lockstep? I don't know. I know I'm not that good and I know I'm not that lucky, yet these things don't kill me unless I'm careless (ie looking at loot drops instead of incoming monsters).

Next time, pay attention in spec-ing defensive nodes in ur skill tree as well as defensive gears. Dont try play super glass cannon

I cant believe what I read.... someone complaining getting 1 shot in dried lake. lol I mean....seriously?

The only way for me to get 1 shoted in dried lake is wear a tabula taking a direct hit from voll ground slamming attack that took 2 secs to land.
